The number of tails on a fox-tail grass corresponds to the number of tails on the fox that cultivated it. Generally speaking, a three-tailed fox can cultivate three-tailed fox-tail grass, but occasionally, a fox with a good aura of fate could cultivate a fox-tail grass with one more tail than its actual number of tails, though that was a one-in-ten-thousand occurrence.
The more tails a fox-tail grass had, the harder it was to cultivate, and the harder it was for a mutation adding an extra tail to occur. A five-tailed fox already possessed strength equivalent to a Deity Transformation spiritual cultivator. Just thinking of a fox as powerful as her master diligently tending the fields made Jiang Yuejing shiver all over; she dared not continue imagining such a scene.
According to Fox Clan legends, nine-tailed foxes existed, but since ancient times the Fox Clan had never produced a single nine-tailed fox, and naturally there was no nine-tailed fox-tail grass. There were quite a few rumors saying that the nine-tailed fox was fabricated by the Fox Clan, and in reality there were at most only eight tails.
